Something I did for the Rocket Queen zine from earlier this year. I haven’t done anything major since… So here’s to hoping I can cope better with the anxiety, and do my thing. The inactivity is killing me.

Rough translation: “Thank you very much for keeping the bathroom clean. If you see someone making a mess, let me know. I’ll clean them up.”

you ever notice how whenever the melee community gets called out for its various shitty things (being actual thieves, having bad attitudes, throwing a shitfit whenever their game MIGHT not be at evo despite the game’s top 10 players not changing at all over the course of several years) their go-to response is “lol well u just mad u cant beat me cuz u cant do a hiphop skadoodle mcgoo backwards sidetrick” 

and whenever a new smash game or smash clone comes out, melee players immediately write it off for attempting to make smash more accessible to newcomers 

melee players don’t want a new game. they want melee forever. not because they enjoy the game or think it has any longevity or merit as a community, but because they took the time to learn how to play this busted glitch-ridden children’s party game and they don’t want to lose that feeling of superiority they get from knowing how to wavedash 

new smash game lets you move extremely quickly without needing to wavedash? not as good as melee, because that means people who didn’t bother to learn melee’s dumb tricks can play it and enjoy it. 

it’s gatekeeping. plain and simple. melee players think knowing how to glitch a party game makes them better than you and anything that challenges that idea drives them in to a frenzy, busting out tired and disproven arguments about how combos in real fighting games were glitches to begin with, and how wavedashing isn’t a glitch because sakurai knew about it and didn’t remove it 

they just don’t want new people playing smash. because if anybody can play smash (like nintendo always intended), it means they aren’t special.

Woke up at 2am and couldn’t fall back asleep so I made a tutorial on the Photoshop techniques I use most frequently. Starting with the sketch:

adjustment layers: specifically the hue/saturation slider in this case, allows you to color correct quickly

lasso tool: for sharp edges!

alpha lock: useful for painting within a pre-defined area (especially useful when painting characters)

x (hotkey) : toggle between foreground + background colors- let’s you easily blend between 2 colors

ctrl/cmd click : quickly change current active layer. Especially useful if you’re burdened with too many layers (or just very disorganized)

clipping mask: similar to alpha lock, but can add details without changing/ painting directly on the previous layer. I often use them to test out + apply gradients.

layer styles: I didn’t use any in this image, but the possibilities for layer styles endless, from simply adding a quick outline (useful for die cut demarcations when making stickers!) to creating more seemingly complex appearances. Here’s a gif of Nick Carver using layer styles (a combo of drop shadows + inner shadows) to quickly make the illusion of snow but with simple strokes.

ending on this:

A New 'Vantablack' Bird-of-Paradise Has Been Discovered, And It's Absolutely Mesmerising

Ornithologists have classified the Vogelkop superb bird-of-paradise as its own species after recognizing differences in two similar-looking kinds of the birds.

If the Most Recent Windows Update Just Screwed over Your Drawing Tablet:

There are some solutions and workarounds for turning off Windows Ink, which seems to be the root of the problem of making people’s pens go crazy. It will make your tablet actually start working decently again with your normal commands/gestures, but due to some kind of bug or whatever, turning off Windows Ink also disables pen pressure. So how do fix for a workaround? The first is the Photoshop Fix that was found by @mandyjacek (click for the thread!) where you have to go into Photoshop’s files and add in a txt file you can write very simply yourself that forces Photoshop to use the TabletPC API instead of the WinTab API. After a restart, it began working for me again more or less like it should.

The Second is in SAI:

i was almost as if the developer knew there were gonna be some bullshittin’ down the road and gave us an option. I haven’t seen a fix for CLIP STUDIO or other art programs yet, but this is at least a start until Windows and Wacom get get back to seeing one another eye-to-eye again.

These have at least worked for me, and I hope for you all as well.

[skulllkid]

not sure if this has been found already but i found something that worked for for me with CLIP STUDIO.

first turn OFF windows ink!

Then open CLIP STUDIO and go into PREFERENCES

Finally go onto the Tablet option. from there change it from TabletPC to Wintab!

hopefully this will work for you if you use clipstudio!

Gotta try that PS and Sai one!

I will say the most recent update did not affect my system since I run off of Windows 7, BUT this is helpful for anyone who is having issues
